Bold colours, summery prints and feminine silhouettes; Stella McCartney’s performance line for Adidas showcases many of her celebrated ready-to-wear signatures. With luxury fashion labels channelling sportswear on the catwalks, it’s time to reverse the trend and reconsider our workout wardrobes. If a new dress makes you feel like a million dollars, wouldn’t you want to feel the same in what you wear to the gym? Leading fashion-sportswear label Adidas by Stella McCartney continues to evolve with each collection, keeping functionality at its core; breathable fabrics and trailblazing Climachill technology keep the body cool and comfortable during the most physically demanding workouts.

The collection is inspired by an urban landscape and the colour of the sky. ‘There is a play on contrasts,’ says McCartney. ‘The Run and Cycling ranges are graphic, while the Studio range has a hintof retro cool.’ What’s more, the use of organic cotton, recycled yarns and dry-dye technology mean we can feel even better about working out.
